Vail Pass to Uneva Ridge, Eagles Nest Wilderness

This marvelous example of Rocky Mountain vistas starts, oddly enough, directly beside Interstate-70 at Colorado’s 10,585′ Vail Pass. The trail winds through forest and meadow, then climbs steeply above treeline to Uneva Ridge, 1,500 feet above. Along the way you will enjoy breathtaking views of four distinct mountain ranges as you pass into Eagles Nest Wilderness, and experience the high mountain air. If you still have some energy left, you can continue to either Uneva Pass, or Uneva Peak, another solid 500 feet higher. Regardless of your turnaround point, expect a good workout, and great fun.

Backcountry Skiing Equals Backcountry Snowmobiling

The backcountry is where most of those awesome shots from your favorite ski movie came from. The steep, gnarly slopes where no one else is in sight and the snow is untracked are usually only reachable by snowmobile. If you’re looking to get into the backcountry to ski or snowboard this season, then it might be worthwhile to look into learning how to drive a sled. If you rent one, it can be less expensive than buying and maintaining one, especially if you’ll only go a few times. However, make sure that you’re familiar with avalanche safety before venturing out. Have fun!

There is a wintry side to this storm system but you have to climb pretty high in elevation to find it. Some of Colorado’s high country above 10,000 feet will pick up close to a foot or more of snow before all is said and done, according to CBS4 Meteorol
